- Stakeholder Collaboration: Engage extensively with other programme leaders and external partners to foster high-performance teamwork across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Risk Management: Identify, manage, and mitigate risks related to land and consent, ensuring that uncertainties are appropriately valued and addressed to support a confident contracting process with contracting consortia.
- Strategic Advice and Direction: Provide expert guidance on property and statutory approval matters, influencing the design and delivery of the programme, including a particular focus on efficient and innovative ways of achieving the programme outcomes. Offer strategic direction across external stakeholders to ensure alignment with NZTA's objectives.
- Professional Services Management: Oversee the procurement and management of professional services contractors and consultants, ensuring high standards and best practices are maintained
